Which is better for a family room with kids?

The Monterey holds up better long term: kiln-dried hardwood, a spring foundation and durable polyester upholstery. The Walsunny is the cheaper choice if you would rather replace than repair, and its 2,400 lb capacity handles heavy use.

Is the Monterey worth the extra money?

If you sit on it daily for years, yes. Down-blend cushions and a kiln-dried frame resist sagging, which is where cheap foam sofas fail. If you need a sleeper or a tight budget, the Walsunny at $1,249.00 is the better buy.

Which one is better for sleeping guests?

The Walsunny, because it has a sleeper. The Monterey has no sleeper, though its deep seats and ottoman make a passable bed for one person.

The Monterey. Its kiln-dried hardwood frame and Flexolator foundation are built to prevent warping and sagging, and the down-blend cushions recover their shape. The Walsunny's foam cushions will soften sooner.

Which fits a small apartment?

The Walsunny, at 20.1 in seat depth and a compact L-shape. The Monterey runs 130 in wide by 90 in deep and needs a large room.

Do the Walsunny cushions really take 48 hours to expand?

Yes. They ship vacuum-packed and the maker says they expand over about 48 hours. Expect them to look thin on day one and full by day three.
